Can We Somehow Mark Duplicate Rows ?
Sep 14, 1999
Hi,
I am encountering a problem. There are lots of duplicate rows in the cobol flat files (due to improper data entry and missing columns values )from where I am transforming data to sql 7. 0 tables using DTS. After transformation , can I some how mark the duplicate rows ? it is not for the purpose of eliminating them, but to enter the missing values and make all the rows complete and unique.
I have the transformed table as a temporary table. Can I add a column like 'status' etc.. and have the column values marked '1' for the repeating rows etc....
Can anyone suggest 'any' possible way of implementing it ?
Thanx

I have a requirement to mark duplicate records when I pull them from the database.
However, I only want to mark the 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc record - not the first one.
The code I have below creates a column called Dupes but marks all the duplicates - including the first one.
Is there a way to only mark the 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc record ?
SELECT *, cs.CallStatusDescription as CSRStatusDesc, cs2.CallStatusDescription as CustomerStatusDesc, (Select MAX(CallAttemptNumber)From CallResults cr Where cl.Id = cr.CallLogId) as CallAttemptNumber,
Dupes = (select count(id) from CallLogswhere (CustomerHomePhone != '' AND cl.CustomerHomePhone = CustomerHomePhone)OR (CustomerBusinessPhone != '' AND cl.CustomerBusinessPhone = CustomerBusinessPhone)AND DealerId= 'hdsh' AND CSRStatus IS NULLand datediff(d, logdate, getdate()) <= 21),
FROM CallLogs cl left Join CallStatus cs on cs.Id = cl.CSRstatusleft Join CallStatus cs2 on cs2.Id = cl.Customerstatus Where SaleStage IN ('1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6') And (LogProcessFlag = 1 Or LogProcessFlag = 0)And DealerId='hdsh'And Logdate Between '08/01/2007' And '08/31/2007'

Ok, I've spent a good amount on time on debugging an unupdating scenario in my application. Finally I knew the reason which is very annoying. Either I'm missing something really obvious (I hope so,) or this is a bug.
to reproduce what I'm talking about:
1- create a new win forms application using VS2005 sp1
2- add some SQL Compact Edition data file that have some records from the data menu, you'll get the designer to generate the dataset and everything..
3- drag a table from the data sources window, you'll get the data grid and the navigator on the form
4- add a button and have this in the click event handler:
datasetname.Clear();
TableAdapterName.Update(datasetname);
launch the program, click the button, you'll see the grid get wiped out as it supposed to do. close the program and relaunch. the data is there again (this has nothing to do with the copy always, copy if newer infamous stupidity)
now:
5- edit the click event handler and change it so something like this:
foreach (datasetname.TableRow row in datasetname.Table)
{
row.Delete();
}
TableAdapterName.Update(datasetname);
Launch the program, hit the button, grid wiped out. exit and relaunch. You'll see no data (i.e. the update on table adapter worked alright)
You can also try the GetChanges method on the dataset rightafter you use the clear method and you'd get no deleted records at all.
So, in 100,000+ records dataset, if i need to wipe the thing out and add some new records do i have to loop over every record and call delete (which will take LOTS of time).
I do hope that I'm missing something obvious.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

I used the following select statement to get duplicate records on Case_number column
select cases.distinct case_link, cases.case_number
from cases
group by case_link
having case_number > 1
I got the error message that
"'cases.warrant_number' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
AND
cases.case_number' is invalid in the HAVING clause because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
Any idea on a better statement to use. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

Hi. I'm a SQL Server newbie, very experienced with Access, developing an ASP.NET database editor web app. I query the database with a statement more or less in the following form:
SELECT organisation.OrgID, organisation.Name, organisation.whatever FROM services INNER JOIN servicegrouping ON services.serviceID=servicegrouping.serviceID INNER JOIN organisations ON servicegrouping.OrgID = organisations.OrgID WHERE services.service=x OR services.service=y
In other words, I have a database of organisations. The services offered by the organisations are in a separate table, and I only want to return organisations that offer services X or Y.
Okay, now if I did this in Access, this query would return just one record for each organisation that meets the condition, unless I was to include a field from the services table in the SELECT clause, in which case of course I would get one record for each organisation and unique service offered.
But in MS SQL, the query returns duplicate rows if there is more than service offered by the organisation that meets the WHERE condition (=x or =y). Why is this and what do I need to do to my SQL statement to ensure I only get unique rows?

Hi,
I've a query which gets a set of data from multiple tables -
select *
FROM A
inner JOIN q
ON (RIGHT(q.name,CHARINDEX('-',REVERSE(q.name))-1)= a.id)
inner JOIN t
ON (t.id = q.id)
inner JOIN s
ON (q.name = s.name )
inner join l
on (s.name = l.name
and t.name = l.name)
WHERE A.id = 764
and s.name = '764'
I get repeated # of rows for each id. I've some 136 rows for each q.id ( there are 6 q.ids and hence I get 816 rows instead of 136) These 136 rows are actually divided among thse q.ids as
id=5, 4 rows
id=6, 8 rows
id=7, 24 rows
id=8, 40 rows
id=10, 60 rows
total=136 rows
Let me know what I'm missing here
Thanks for your help!

I have a question, what does a statement look like that finds the duplicate rows and combines them,
I have a table named PRODUCTS in it 3 columbs Cost, Stock, Part_number.
I need to find all Part_numbers that dublicate, Combine the rows into 1 & combine (sum, add) their stock together is the new row & take an avarerage of their cost and use it as cost in the new row where they combine.
Please help me, I am stalled. Looked all over the internet & could not find anything, I really need this for a project I can not finish.
I have the following SQL statement:
SELECT part_number,
COUNT(part_number) AS NumOccurrences
FROM Products

I have a csv file that I need to import daily into a SQL Server 2005 table. Much of the table contents could just be overwritten with the new csv file, however there are a set of Rows within the table that need to be appended to , rather than overwritten.
There is no Primary Key in the csv file that can be used.
I'm not sure this is the best approach, but what I have been trying to do, is append the entire csv file to the existing table, and then go back and delete the duplicates.
When I run the Delete, it does delete the majority of the records, but leaves a couple hundred behind. The number left behind varies with each run, can't seem to identify a pattern here. Running the Delete a second time does clean up the rows left behind in the first execution of the Delete, and gives the result I want.
Any thoughts as to why this needs to be run twice? Or is a better approach available?
Here is my code -
SELECT [Pkg ID], [Elm (s)], [Type Name (s)], [End Exec Date], [End Exec Time], dupcount=count(*)
INTO temppkgactions
FROM pkgactions
GROUP BY [Pkg ID], [Elm (s)], [Type Name (s)], [End Exec Date], [End Exec Time]HAVING count(*) > 1
DELETE TOP (SELECT COUNT(*) -1 FROM dbo.temppkgactions WHERE dupcount > 1 )
FROM dbo.pkgactions
DROP TABLE temppkgactions

Hai
I have problem in deleting duplicate rows. I have a identity column in my table, if I try to use correlatted sub query with Delete command it gives error.
The other problem I have is I have a date column in my table and update that column with current date and time. If use a query to fetch a records on a particular day , it does not return any rows
select * from rates where ch_date >='02/11/99' and ch_date<='02/11/99'
If I use convert also there is some other problems. Is there any way to force date checkings to be done excluding time.

Hello,
I have a table (mytable) with the following structure
docs int
field1 varchar(20)
......
the information in the table may look like this
docs field1
1 hello
2 hello
3 test
4 test
5 problem
6 problem
The docs column autoincrements and their is a unique constraint on it. The field1 column does not have any constraints on it.
how does on delete the duplicates without deleting both.
I can write a SQL statement to tell me what docs are dups, and what the field1 values are, but I cannot just delete one
Do I write a cursor? or is there an sql statement that would delete just one?
thanks

This is an imaginary problem while discussing ROWID in ORACLE.
Consider a table without primary key, unique key, uniuqe index.
A row has inserted into the table many times.
I want to delete all but one dulicated rows. With any 'where' clause all rows(duplicated)
will be deleted. In ORACLE i can achieve this using ROWID as follows:
Delete from Table_name
where < all column values >
and ROWID <> ( Select max(rowid) from Table_name where < all column values > )
How can this be achieved in MS SQL Server 6.5 ?
According to Dr. Codd's Golden rules for RDBMS one is that
One should be able to reach each data value in the database by using
table name, row idenfication value and column name.
Does MS SQL Server 6.5 satisfy this requirement ?
Also How many of Dr. Codd's 13 Golden Rules for RDBMS does MS SQL Server 6.5
Satisfy? Which doesn't ?
Any discussion about Codd's Rules is welcome.

Hi everyone, I'm migrating some information for a client at the moment. They had everything in Excel files and I'm getting them into SQL Server. There are some differences in the way I am storing data and the way they were storing data.
For each client they stored, they had something like
Rel1 Rel2 Rel3
100 101 102
Now, what I have is a seperate row for each of Rel1, Rel2 and Rel3 so I would have 3 seperate rows with identical information except for Rel1. So I would have:
Rel1
100
101
102
So one way I thought of doing it was inserting a new row specifying that the value for Rel2 should be stored in Rel1 and for the next row that the value for Rel3 should be stored in Rel1.
Now, I am able to do this but SQL Server inserts an extra row will the NULL value in Rel1. Does anyone know why this would be happening? I think what it is doing is finding a NULL value in Rel3 after creating the two extra rows and is inserting that NULL. So I think I need to check for NULLs and not allow it to create a new row if, say, Rel3 is NULL.
Any pointers are gladly welcome. (I know it's complicated )

Hello I am fairly new to SQL and having spent much time over the manual I decided to ask for help. So here's my deal.
I've got a query with 5 tables that I join together
Code:
SELECT * FROM Map
INNER JOIN ThreatCategory
INNER JOIN Threat ON
ThreatCategory.threatCategoryID = Threat.threatCategoryID
INNER JOIN Threat_Map
ON Threat.threatID = Threat_Map.threatID
ON Map.mapID = Threat_Map.mapID
LEFT JOIN person on map.contentPersonID = person.personID
WHERE (((DATEDIFF(dd, Map.dataAcquisitionDate, GETDATE()) > map.goodForDays) and (map.expired = '1'))
or (map.expired = '3'))
The problem is the table Threat_Map is a many to many mapping between the Map table and the Threat table. Eg) A map can have more than one threat and a threat can have more than one map. I know this is not the best way to have a database set up but its out of my hands as to changing the database. What I need help with is this.
My application checks as to whether a certain field in the Map table is expired or out of date (as in the query). If so it gets some required information from the other tables using those joins. However, I don't want to get information for the same Map.mapID that's expired twice. I don't really care which ThreatID I get from the Threat_Map table I just need to get one of them to meet the objects standards. However, so far this seemingly simple task has eluded me. I'd like to do this in SQL. Is there perhaps a way to do this. If not I guess I'll just take care of it in the application.

Hi,
Please give the DML to SELECT the rows avoiding the duplicate rows. Since there is a text column in the table, I couldn't use aggregate function, group by (OR) DISTINCT for processing.
Table :
create table test(col1 int, col2 text)
go
insert into test values(1, 'abc')
go
insert into test values(2, 'abc')
go
insert into test values(2, 'abc')
go
insert into test values(4, 'dbc')
go
Please advise,
Thanks,

In my database, I have a table "tbl_c_extract" that consists of 4 columns that look the following. I'm looking at a daily batch of around 4000 records, of which 150 are likely to be duplicates.
Emp_No varchar(255), Proprietary_ID varchar(255), LeaveDateActual datetime
123456, E123456, 2014-09-27 00:00:00.000
213832, E123456, 2099-12-31 00:00:00.000
213836, E123456, 2014-01-31 00:00:00.000
In the example above, I need to remove 2 of the entries, leaving only the one that with the maximum leave date. In this case, those without a leave date have the 2099 entry.
Using CTE works exactly as I want it to, however SQL Server Agent doesn't seem to like the use of CTE..
Code:
WITH CTE (Proprietary_ID, LeaveDate, RN)
AS
(
SELECT Proprietary_ID, LeaveDate,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY Proprietary_ID ORDER BY Proprietary_ID, LeaveDate) AS RN
FROM tbl_c_extract
)
DELETE
FROM CTE
WHERE RN > 1

I get a tabseparated textfile with data every friday. Faulty rows are to be returned to the source.
Double rows are considered a fault. How do I select all double rows?
I join the data later on with four columns so if these columns are alike the rows are considered identical even if other columns are not. Ie:
A, B, C, D, 12, 34, 48, 76
A, B, C, D, 23, 45, 56, 99
These two rows are considered alike since I join on A+B+C+D.
I'd like to select ALL double rows and insert them into a separate table that I can return to the source. Does anyone have an idea how to do this?

)
This is my "insert" code:
INSERT INTO table1
SELECT table2.col1,table2.col2, table3.col3
FROM table2, table3
WHERE table2.col1 = table3.col1
Wich conditions shoud i add to this code?

using asp, i am able to select rows from a databate using a recordset, only to insert it straight back into the database, thus assigning it a new unique id.
but is there any one to perform this action just using sql?

Hi there, I'm trying to concat the results of a select statement into a single row separated by commas without duplicates. The query and output is something like this:
SELECT Specification FROM Cars WHERE Model = 112
Which would return something like:
Specification
------------------
Model 1
Model 2
Model 2
Model 4
What I'd like is these to be combined into a single row such as:
Specification
------------------
Model 1, Model 2, Model 4
